Hazel's POV:

I had never been stared at with so much hate by Xavier than at this time.

He was staring at me now like he could kill me and when I took a step back, he took a step forward.

"Are you trying to run away from me?" He asked in the calmest, most dangerous tones ever.

I shook my head and raised my chin, trying hard not to look afraid. "No, why would I?"

"Then what are you doing here, huh?"

"I came here to find peace and quiet. I couldn't find that at the pack house. I came here to be away from everyone. Why do you seem to have a problem with that, huh?"

"I don't think you heard the question I asked you initially,"

"What question is that?"

"Is this where you sneak to every night?" He asked again. That was when it hit me. Was I being monitored, somehow?

"You're spying on me?" I asked, not believing that I had been spotted. How long had they been following me around?

"Spying on you? No, I'm not," He replied. "I'm not spying on you. I trust you too much to actually do anything bad

    Xavier's POV: I was just settled in my study when I heard that Hazel had gotten into a fight with one of the men at the gates. I sighed and leaned back against my chair, confused on what to do. Well, I didn't want to see her so I commanded the man who had reported her to me to separate them himself. "She already left him but he's seriously wounded," The man said. "Then take care of him. When he's able to do anything,I need to see him," The man bowed before he left my study. As soon as he was gone, I stood to my feet and walked to my window. I wiped my hand over my jaw and placed it on my hip, wondering if I should go talk to her. After a few moments of contemplation, I decided to stay back in my study and leave him— her be. I couldn't sleep last night because I was really worried. How the hell was he a woman? Hazel was everything but a woman and as hard as I tried to make myself believe that it was true, I still couldn't come to terms. Hazel was the guy I had saved from being k

    HAZEL'S POV:Xavier coming to apologize on behalf of the stupid pervert was none of my business. I thought he had come to see me to talk about the situation at hand.I didn't understand why he had just come into my room just to apologize. What was he expecting me to do? Smile and thank him for his kindness?I wanted to talk to him but it wasn't about some stupid man. I really wanted to talk to him and that was it!As soon as he left, I took a seat on the Chippendale seat in front of the window. That was my usual spot to think.All I could think about was the daunting task Colin had set for me. It was really messing with my mentals.I laughed.A lot of people saw me as someone who was good at concealing his emotions. Little did they know that I was battling with a lot. Trying to hide my emotions. I was someone who felt a lot at the same time. I felt too much and my ability to conceal it made the others think I was just tough skin.I have always craved the touch of a man. I always have.

    HAZEL'S POV:I raised my chin to the air, acting like his presence in this mansion wasn't affected by his statement, his eyes raking down my body or whatever he was capable of doing.He had a smug smile on his face as he slowly checked out all the paintings in the drawing room. I wanted to wipe that look on his face with a very hard punch but I knew he was far stronger than I was. I had to follow him with wisdom.Apart from being really powerful, he was cunning. If I did something that upset him, I knew there was a possibility of him blowing my cover and letting everyone know that I wasn't who I really put myself out there to be. I knew he could do that."These paintings are highly expensive," He said after a long moment of silence and looking through the paintings. "Van Gogh. Hmm, one could make a fortune from just stealing this," Then he turned to me like he had just gotten a great idea. "You haven't thought of stealing this? I mean, there's a lot to take from here, pay off Colin an

    XAVIER'S POV:I didn't know Hazel's background so when I saw a man standing in front of the pack house, requesting to see her, I flipped.He was tall, over six feet and good looking. He must be one of her past interests. Why was he looking for her?Not until he explained that he was a close friend of hers did I believe him. Infact, I didn't even want to believe that they were close friends. What if he was nursing feelings for her and lying to me about being close friends with her?Well, Hazel came and she seemed to recognize him vividly. There was something else in her eyes I couldn't read but I let them be together alone for a while.I was in the kitchen throughout. Trying to drown myself in tea and not overthink their meeting in the drawing room. I mean, who would want to see their mate talking with someone else who looked at her like she meant the world to him?When Hazel came down, I was relieved to hear that he was nursing a headache. She had come to bring him tea and I let her.

    HAZEL's POV:I was in my room when I heard the noise outside. I had been thinking about how to cover up the painting Leon had stolen and recover it from him before it could be found.I had even tried to talk to him telepathically but he wasn't even responding. The Leon I knew would respond quickly but he wasn't even saying anything. And that was when I knew that he had really stolen it.Standing to my feet, I walked slowly to the door with ears perked up in curiosity. I could feel my heart beating hard against my chest as I knew that whatever was happening might be connected to Leon.I sighed heavily and slowly opened the door. Two guards rushed past the corridor and I turned to see that no one was there.I shut the door behind me and stepped out of my room. The noise was coming from the drawing room. My heart skipped and I knew I had some answering to do.Slowly, I walked towards the room and began to rehearse what I was going to say. I knew I had to lie because Xavier would want to

    HAZEL'S POV:I hadn't come up with a decision yet. I knew I was going to attend the dinner party tomorrow but honestly, I wasn't mentally prepared.Everyone would have their eyes on me and thinking about it alone made me nervous already.I was in my room all day, thinking about a lot of things ranging from my newfound identity to the stolen painting and how Xavier had looked at me with rage in his eyes.The clock struck two and I knew it was time for lunch. Lazily, I stood to my feet and went to change into something more feminine. This morning, I had woken up to see a few gowns arranged in my wardrobe and I didn't know if I was to be offended or grateful.I scanned through the dresses and my eyes caught one. A dull brown gown that had thin straps for hands. I knew this dress was going to cause a lot of eyes to be on me but it was better I let them look now and digest the fact that I was a woman than for it to happen for a long time. It was going to make me really uncomfortable.I too

    HAZEL'S POV:As I walked through the bush path, I felt the blades of grass sweep through my skin and I regretted putting on a dress when I should have just worn my pants.What was I trying to prove? That I could be a beautiful woman?I sighed and was about to turn back but I had gone more than halfway. It was best that I finished the journey and when I got to the lake, I pulled off the slipper from my feet and sighed in relief when my feet hit the cold floors of the sandy banks.I knew Leon was going to appear any time soon and I tried to look as nonchalant as I could. The moon was almost full and the stars glittered against the night skies like a couple of glitters thrown over a satin dress. This scene would have been beautiful if I was sharing it with someone else but here I was, waiting for Leon and hoping he'd come along with the painting he had stolen from the pack house.Thirty minutes had passed and Leon was nowhere to be found, not even in my head. I closed my eyes and sighed.

    XAVER'S POV:Once again, Hazel was nowhere to be found. I suppressed the urge to call her by the name I had just discovered her as. Iris.I had gone to knock on the door of her room but no reply came. Thinking she must be asleep, I decided to go back to my room but curiosity had me going to one of the men to ask for her whereabouts but none of the men had seen her.There was a possibility of her sleeping in her room but my guts told me otherwise and I just had to go after her.I walked to the other side of the pack house that led through a bush path, straight to the gates that had been unlocked before.There was no sign of the locks being picked and that was what confused me the most. I stood there for a long time, thinking of the possibilities of her not being in her room and I was about to turn and walk back to the pack house, my eyes caught a red string on the carpet of grass.I walked slowly towards it and picked it up. I felt the material under the pad of my thumb before bringing

    Chapter 102Xavier's POVShe was alive. I am glad.But I don't think I want to see her. Not now, at least. After leaving the room, I went straight to the terrace to clear my head. I didn't know what to make of all these.My mother refused to tell me everything till she was awake and present to hear. It had been a week since she went into a coma. I was still very mad at her but all I wished for was her recovery. I don't think I'd survive without her.I stared out into the sunrise and watched people pass by. The battle had ended a week ago and we were left to pick things back up. Repairs were going on. A lot had been damaged.I don't think I'd ever forget about that night. The other Pack Alpha's that attended came from me and I was deeply grateful. Two had lost their lives to silver arrows and I had two funerals to attend. Gifts had been sent to each pack member that attended in appreciation for the help they rendered to us.I had been locked up in my study for so long, thinking and wal

    HAZEL'S POV;I woke up with a start. Cracking my eyes open, I was blinded by the sunlight pouring out of the window. I tried to turn away from the window but I felt a sharp pain on my side and cried out in pain.The door immediately pushed open and someone rushed into the room."Iris! Are you okay?"I opened my eyes once again to see Felix in the room. Frowning, I pushed myself up to sit, ignoring the thudding pain on my side."What's going on here?" I asked and looked around me. I was in my room but my whole body was covered in bruises."I'll be right back!" He said and dashed out of the room before I could call out to him.Swallowing was painful for me. I brought my hand to my throat and felt it. That part hurt and it felt like I had a previous wound. Five slash scars ran through the other side of my throat.I touched the side of my belly and realized that a padded gauze had been used to cover up a wound. But I didn't feel any slight pain. Slowly, I pulled it off to see another scar

"This is beyond you, Ryan. Where is your mate?""She's locked up with the female guests but they have all left to join in the battle,""Including her?!"Ryan shook his head immediately. "I told her she couldn't leave. She's going to listen to me,""Good. Go now, I need to take care of Mother. She has been wounded by a silver arrow,""I'll go with her. She can't fight again. She's wounded and it's dangerous. Let me help—""No, Ryan!" My mother said from where she was on the floor. "Do as your brother says. It is not over yet. I can take care of myself,""What are you going to do with your wound, mother?"It was obvious that he wasn't going to leave till he was sure that she was okay. I didn't blame him. After not seeing your mother throughout your life, losing her would take a massive toll on yo

    MILA'S POV;Once we got to the base of the steps, I found the door that led to the dungeon. I could remember every detail of this place even after fifteen years.The door was unlocked and I pulled it open. We ran through a long corridor, flanked by rough stone walls and when we got to the first cell, my eyes darted around in search of keys.I found a bunch of keys hanging off a huge naile that had been driven into the wall as quickly, I extracted it before unlocking the door and pushing her inside. I locked the door immediately and handed the key over to her."Stay here, okay? Don't move an inch. Don't give anyone this key and don't come out of here, is that clear?;""But...""No buts!" I snapped before sighing. "Look, I need you to be here. You're safer here than you are outside. Colin would want to punish you for going against his rules so he'd want to come after you himself. We are going to take care of him,"She grabbed me by the hand. Her eyes were filled with fear and I could se

    HAZEL'S POV;"Xavier!"He was choking me with the intent of killing me. I could see the rage in his eyes and it didn't feel like he was the one. He wasn't there. He was someone else. A beast. An angry beast that felt betrayed.I tried my best to pull free from him by kicking him but I was high up in the air, far away from his body.He probably had an idea that I was going to try to fight back.I was fighting for air and it felt like my face was going to explode. My eyes bulged and my throat scratched."You.." he said in a guttural voice. "You betrayed me! You made me believe we had something. You wanted me dead the whole time!""No!" I cried out and coughed. "I dunno want you dead after I found out we were mated to each other. It wasn't easy, Xavier! Hear me out, please. I love you so much and I care for you. I wouldn't hurt you and you know that.""If you loved me!" He snapped and drove me into the shelf. My back broke through the thick wood and felt something sharp pierce into my si

    HAZEL'S POV;Colin.He was really standing here and not an apparition. Oh, fuck.Immediately, I turned to Xavier who looked absolutely confused and tried to stand on my feet but it was futile because I fell to my side. He quickly helped me up and balanced me back on the chair before turning to Colin who stood there, smiling sinisterly."Who is he, Iris? He seems to know you,""Iris?" Colin said and looked at me. "He even calls you by your name. What have you been doing?"I closed my eyes and gritted in anger, hitting the table before me and turning it over."Iris!" Xavier thundered and I stopped. "Mind telling me who this man is before I lose my patience?"I nodded and held tight onto the arm of the chair. I placed my good leg on the ground before standing on my feet. I leaned on one side of my body."Xavier, you're going to hate me after I tell you everything," I sighed and closed my eyes. "I don't want you to hate me. Whatever I did was for your safety,""You can begin talking then

    HAZEL'S POV;Another attack?I turned to Xavier who looked as shocked as I. "What attack?"I covered my ears immediately at the sound of a loud thud. Everywhere vibrated and Xavier pulled me to the side, beginning a column. We were both breathing heavily and staring at each other in shock."There's no time to begin wondering who caused this attack! We have to fight back!" Xavier yelled. "I'll go after my mother and Ryan. Go to the guards and see if you can tell them something tangible,""We're under attack right now. You go get your family. I'll join the others!" I yelled back.He nodded and pulled me into him, kissing before he pulled away and touched my face. "Please, be safe, okay?"I nodded and pushed him and as soon as he was gone, I lifted my gown and tore the slitless party before tying it around my waist. I moved out of the column, pushing past people as they ran for their lives. Women screamed but I was glad to see that the men had already formed a strong fort, waiting for th

    XAVIER'S POV;Guests had already arrived and we're starting to materialize. My mother was busy relating with her old time friends. Infact, there was excitement in the air as they were all happy that she was alive and well.The highlight of today was my mother's return. Unfortunately, Iris had somehow missed receiving the guests with me and I had to do it alone. I was so infuriated by her attitude but my mother did a good job in receiving everyone and I thought that maybe she was the right person to receive the visitors instead of Iris.As I weaved past the group of people, my eyes caught a slender frame. Her back was against me and she stood, talking with Felix. I didn't have to look further to know it was Iris.When did she get downstairs? I'd been standing at the base of the staircase all the evening so she had to have used another route.She looked really beautiful.I cleared my throat and Felix's eyes fleeted over to me. He cleared his throat and nudged his head towards me. Iris t

I even had to check the ledger to take financial accounts.I was still making the necessary calculations when a knock sounded on my door. I frowned. Only one person knocked like that. Ryan?"Come in."And so did he. He looked different. Taller. Muscular. His hair was fuller and he was dressed nicely.He was back. I stood to my feet immediately and burst into a smile. "Come over here, brother!"He walked towards me with a smile on his face and I pulled him into a hug. "Nice to be here, brother,""Nice to have you back, Ryan. You've grown so tall!"He took a step back and spread out his arms. He looked more of a man than the sixteen year old boy he was. He was starting to sport a few strands of beards and when he touched his chin, we both burst into laughter."Maybe Zoe would look at me, at least,"My smile faltered and he frowned. "No. It's
